good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines. another change to the government's financial plans — after reversing a cut to the top rate of tax, now the chancellor is bringing forward an announcement on cutting the uk's debts. a public inquiry into the covid—19 pandemic begins today — it's likely to last more than two years and hearfrom bereaved families as well as senior politicians and scientists. fears that the most vulnerable will suffer after a drop in food donations from supermarkets. a charity tells us people needing help with the cost of living could lose out because businesses

are cutting back on waste. one for the history books as two british sides meet for the first time this evening as liverpool host rangers in the champions league. i can't believe this is happening. driverless taxis arrive on the streets of san francisco — but how ready are they to deal with big city traffic? good morning, a mile start. some are starting at 17 degrees. we have heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland currently which is moving south across england and wales. to all but the south—east. todayit wales. to all but the south—east. today it will be windy. all the details later. it's tuesday, the 11th of october. our main story. the chancellor kwasi kwarteng is to make a further change to his financial plans and bring forward an announcement on the uk's debts. he was facing mounting criticism for insisting the details would not

be published until late november. a new date is expected to be confirmed today. it follows yesterday's dramatic u—turn on the top rate of income tax, as our political correspondent helen catt reports. it's fantastic to be here with you this evening. the prime minister was out at events on the conference fringe last night, rallying supporters. so too was the chancellor. but the night before, they had had a meeting that ended in a major u—turn when they backtracked on a headline pledged to scrap the 45p top rate of tax for the highest earners. in her first interview since, liz truss told the bbc that the government was listening. we are also a listening government, nick. that do listen to people. that do reflect on where we could have done things better, and i have said that about laying the groundwork, i have said that about the specific feedback we have had on the 45p tax rate. now there has been a new reversal.

just yesterday on this programme, the chancellor committed to when he would set out his debt plan. we are going to have a medium—term plan that is going to come out, as i've said, at the end of november. and all those plans will be set out in fuller detail there. sources have told the bbc he will now do it sooner than the end of november. he had been under pressure to speed the statement up to help calm the markets. but there could be fresh trouble brewing about benefits. under borisjohnson, there was a pledge to raise them in line with inflation. liz truss won't commit to that. we are working very closely with the obr. it's important that we have a forecast to go with that plan, and that is something the chancellor is working on. but you would bring it forward if you could? i i am a very clear that we have committed to having a proper obr forecast to reducing debt as a proportion of gdp over time. a number of conservative mps have already said they have concerns.

and the immediate criticisms haven't quite gone away, either. the former home secretary, priti patel, is expected to weigh in later, and warned that the conservatives will live or die by their economic credibility. helen catt, bbc news, birmingham. chief political correspondent nick eardley is at the conservative party conference for us this morning. another day, another change in government policy. what is the mood like a there this morning? it is fascinating _ like a there this morning? it is fascinating because _ like a there this morning? it 3 fascinating because if you had gone to bed on sunday night, you would have expected the government to continue with its pretty stubborn approach to fiscal plan saying we are not being moved from this, we totally believe in it, we think this plan is going to work, we are sticking to the timetable, it is not going to change. wake up this morning and they have junked the 45p

rate that the chancellor spoke about yesterday, and now they have bowed to pressure to bring forward the plan to set out how they are going to bring debt down in the medium term. senior conservatives were saying that plan needed to be set out earlier to calm the markets. and there were many economists who said we need to get those answers sooner. so the government says it is listening, being pragmatic, it will do what it needs to do. but here is the thing. one rebellion that is successful does not mean more rebellion is coming, if anything it encourages more rebellions —— it does not stop more. as you heard, the one to watch out for is benefits. at the moment they are due to go up in april at the rate of inflation. some in government have talked about potentially changing that so it goes up in line with the

average increase in salaries which would be a lot less. there are many conservative mps who think at the time of the cost of living crisis that would be another own goal. so expect a big battle on that if it does not want to go ahead with plans as they stand. {lila does not want to go ahead with plans as they stand-— the first preliminary hearing of the uk covid public inquiry will begin later today to examine the uk's response to coronavirus and the impact of the pandemic. the hearing had originally been scheduled for last month, but was delayed after the death of the queen. our health correspondent jim reed reports. on a long wall in westminster, relatives of those who lost their lives to covid have left their marks and memories. sylvia jackson died in the first wave of the pandemic. like so many others, her daughter wants to know if the right decisions were taken at the time. so all kinds of questions

and the fact that none of them have been answered yet is precisely the reason why we need this inquiry. i don't know who is responsible for my mum's death. and i want to know. and if they behaved wrongly, i want them held to account. that's only right, that's only right. today, in this room in west london, the process of finding those answers gets under way. the uk covid inquiry is so wide—ranging, it will have to be split into separate sections. the first tackling preparations for a pandemic starts this morning. next month sees the start of the second section on political decision—making, including the timing of lockdowns. preliminary hearings this autumn will be followed by full public hearings next year, where ministers and other decision—makers will be called to give evidence. this all matters to people

like abby williams. the care home she runs lost residents in the first wave of covid. it is important for us to...for lessons learned, really. we want to know what went wrong, how can it be better handled, and we want to learn from it and to be more prepared in future. covid is still with us, of course. though the fast roll—out of vaccines across the world has cut the risk of hospitalisation and death. doctors say learning lessons now is vital to better understand what happened and to better protect ourselves against any future pandemic. jim reed, bbc news. a woman has died after being attacked by dogs at a house in liverpool. merseyside police are invesitgating the incident. they say the victim — who was in her 60s — was pronounced dead at around 4.25 yesterday afternoon at an address in kirkdale.

ukrainian troops have broken through russian positions near kherson, a strategic city in a part of southern ukraine annexed by moscow last week. the advance was reported by the russian military who say there is heavy russian defensive fire. our correspondent hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv. hugo, how significant is this for ukraine? good morning, it is very significant, the most significant breakthrough for the ukrainian since the start of the counteroffensive in the start of the counteroffensive in the south. for weeks we have watched developments in kherson with heavy fighting there, but all —— almost no movement. ukrainian forces have managed to advance along the dnipro river, and they have managed to

recapture several villages along the river. this ukrainian progress threaten the supply lines for thousands of russian troops positioned in that part of the country, so it is significant for ukraine. this is happening in the south and in the east, the ukrainians are going ahead with the counteroffensive, reinforcing possessions after reclaiming a key town, a major logistics and transport hub in the donetsk region. and now they are moving up to the luhansk region. president zelensky said heavy fighting was happening in many parts of the front line last night. but president putin said this is happening in regions that have been annexed so important gains for ukraine in parts of the country. north korea has fired a ballistic missile overjapan for the first time in five years.

the launch is the fifth in recent days by pyongyang. japan has accused north korea of threatening the security of the region. tougher rules for migrants are expected to be set out by the new home secretary suella braverman later today when she addresses the tory party conference. more than 32,000 people have crossed the english channel in small boats so far this year. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has been speaking to people in northern france about the growing popularity of this route into the uk. it is sam and this french patrol are tracking their target. two people smugglers spotted by a uk—funded drone. they are half a mile away, swiftly preparing a boat to take migrants across the channel. a uk—funded buggy gets the patrol there in minutes. the smugglers have already fled. but they have lost their boat, their fuel and their motor to the patrol. this journey tonight is over.

french patrols are now stopping around half these crossings, but they are still attracting more migrants and new, more efficient smuggling networks run by albanians. translation: i don't know if it is the albanian mafia i in the uk, but there are a lot of albanian smugglers organising crossings. with prices of 3,000 to 4,000 euros per person and a0 people in a boat, do the maths. it is even more lucrative than drug trafficking and with lighter criminal charges. albanian customers have been filling cafes and hotels around the station in dunkirk. i see a lot of albanian people come here. more and more. maybe double or triple compared to last year. and year after year, there are people and people coming and coming who say there are no people in albania any more. smugglers have extended their operations along this coastline to avoid daily patrols

from land, sea and air. this coastline has pulled in resources year after year — vehicles, technology, foot patrols. politicians change, strategies shift and, still, the number of people crossing this channel rises. and here in the camps, the uk government's latest deterrent, deportation to rwanda, isn't working. this crossing is sold to the solution to insurmountable problems and that trumps any kind of risk. lucy williamson, bbc news, calais. donald trump has launched a libel action against cnn, accusing the us broadcaster of comparing him to hitler. the former president is seeking $475 million in damages. mr trump accuses cnn of carrying out a slanderous campaign against him because it fears he will stand again for the presidency. the network has not responded.

we will be speaking later to some people who are swapping the uk for the antarctic. very cold. and a lot of daylight. it will not get dark much the next five months. unlike here. what is the weather doing? it is a mile start. 17 degrees in murray and in west sussex and in between, most in west sussex and in between, most in double figures. for the next few days it will be more windy and we will see rain. large rainfall totals building, especially in western scotland. we have heavy rain moving across scotland and northern ireland at the moment, sinking south. it has to macro fronts and one stops in scotland and northern ireland and the other move south but does not get into the south—east, where it remains dry. behind it it will

brighten up in the far north of scotland and northern isles. a windy day. temperatures 13—20. tonight, if anything that rain moves north. it looks like it is a developing area of low pressure. heavy rain, wind picking up. and another weather front coming in from the west and another mild night. tomorrow, low pressure pushes off into the north sea. the front pushes down to the south—east. behind it, blustery showers and across england and wales, a windy day. temperatures down on today but still looking at 11-18 down on today but still looking at 11—18 north to south. here on breakfast we've brought you the story of tony hickmott — a man with autism and a learning disability who's been held in a secure hospital for 22 years. he was just 23 when he was first

detained in a mental health crisis and has been largely held in solitary confinement ever since. now, at last, there's good news, as tony has been found a new for ever home. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin reports. we're coming home. a new house is taking shape in brighton. dream come true. a dream come true. a new home for pam and roy's son, tony. it's happening now. tony's going to come home. yeah. you've waited so long. yeah. decades. this is tony hickmott. last year, we had to go to court to be able to report how he had been detained in a secure hospitalfor 21 years — not because he's a criminal, but because he's autistic. who do you love? mum. that's it — who's boy are you? mum's. put yourthumb up. last november, his parents' long

fight to bring their son home ended in the court of protection, where a judge said authorities must act. and now, finally, pam and roy are about to welcome tony back to brighton. it's his home for life, right? this is his home for life. a real home. a real home, his home. he hasn't got to share with anybody. without the noise, the screaming and the banging of doors, the alarms. just get him home and every day's going to be a bonus. i know he's going to do well. is this tony's old room? tony was born and raised here. he's going to have his big tv. but he was sectioned in a mental health crisis when he was 23. tony's clothes all in here. they were told it would likely be for nine months. it's now been more than two decades. last year, two whistle—blowers spoke to the bbc, revealing the trauma of many of those years.

i don't even know how they do it — the patients, i mean. _ i don't know how they cope. it was almost like a solitary confinement prisoner. a very basic daily life. just 24/7 in that room. i do believe tony was probably the loneliest person living in that hospital — definitely. since they spoke out, tony has celebrated yet another birthday inside. his cards on top of a tv behind a perspex screen. he isn't allowed the remote control. a life with no autonomy in a room which became his world. he's just stuck in a time warp. he's got so much to learn and catch up on. he's going to have choices back. when people ask about my son, they ask where he is, i tell them. and they say, "why is he there for 20 years? what was he done?" and i say he's done nothing. they say, "he must have committed a crime. he must have done something."

i say he's done nothing. they say, "why is he there?" i say, "because he's autistic." it's not bad behaviour, it needs not met. a team is being recruited to support tony here in brighton. they'll be trained in autism and carefully manage his environment. among them, chris. i listen to pam and roy a lot and can't even- comprehend it, really. from day one, when i met him, ijust knew that he wasn't - the person that maybe some people had made him out to be. _ so i felt completely- relaxed and kind of ready to build that relationship. you're going to give him his whole new life? yeah. i think his world is quite small at the moment, you know. . i think there's so much opportunity for him. i i think there's a whole world out there that can really help him i become the person that he can be. he was always meant to be? yeah. the nhs admits £11 million has been spent keeping tony detained, and he's just one of around 2000

people held in such institutions. a select committee report last year called for them all to be closed and replaced with more appropriate support in the community. but that has to be paid for by local authorities. it has taken far too long. it's complicated to try and get all the different elements in place. yet we have a responsibility. absolutely, as a society, we have a responsibility to look after these people to the optimal level we can. and the funding is really challenging to find to achieve that. so, at last, tony's for ever home is taking shape. so deserves it, pam. yeah _ it's just a short drive from his mum and dad. you can't wait for tony to be able to make his own cup of tea. yeah. freedom. get up when he wants to. yeah _ it is a world away from a life in solitary confinement 100 miles from home. it should never be this|

hard, jayne, should it? you know, i don't think tony should have ever really gone away. - he's been forgotten. not forgotten now, pam. no, he's not. no. you never gave up hope? no. never. no. i think if we had given up hope, i don't think tony would be alive. i think he would have done himself in. he wants to go with me down to the beer garden. i'll have a pint and he'll have a half and a cheese roll. that's what he talks about? that's what he wants, yeah, and a cheese roll. you've got so much to look forward to now. it'll be like heaven. it will be. jayne mccubbin will be here later to talk about tony and other cases around the uk. let's take a look at today's papers. many of them lead with reaction to the government's u—turn. "what a day" — the metro uses the words of the chancellor

who admitted to having a "tough day", but insisted he can now get on with the job of turning round the economy. the picture of him making his speech. the daily mail urges the prime minister to "get a grip", saying her u—turn on the tax rate has left supporters worried about her determination. liz truss has urged readers of the daily express to stick with her government, saying she will "reward their trust". the times reports on some potential relief to energy bills. according to the paper, an early forecast for this winter has found that it should be milder than usual, which could save homes and businesses millions of pounds. that was what carroll was saying. it is not as cold this morning. warmer than a week ago. i wonder how the hedgehogs are feeling about this. in the telegraph today, hedgehogs in nottinghamshire will be happy because they have a

hedgehog street in the village after 30 neighbours cut holes in garden fences, like a semicircle, so they can travel between the gardens instead of perhaps trying to cross the road. that is very cute. i was talking to my kids, who are teenagers, and they have never seen a hedgehog. because our garden is completely sealed. we have a wall, so we cannot knock through but you do not see hedgehogs like you used to. you need to go to hedgehog street in nottinghamshire. there are lots, trundling up and down gardens. look at this. this is fantastic. this is steve, who kept bidding for his own spitfire. as you do, in auctions. he was outbid and he decided to build his own spitfire. he bought a kit. apparently it can

fly and he will take it above the channel. chocks away. what an achievement. that is very top gun. i am not sure he looks terribly top gun. i think he does. maverick. he looks very much like our own tom cruise. it took in years. 11,250 hours piecing it together in a barn. a lot of work. how about not driving your own car? do you fancy that? i went in a self drive car on a track in bedfordshire last year. but this is taking it to a whole new level. in san francisco, a futuristic pilot is taking place — fully driverless robo—taxis are being permitted at night time for paying customers. on the streets with other cars. cruise, the company behind them, says the cars will revolutionise transport. but critics say putting fully

autonomous taxis on urban streets is premature and dangerous. north america technology reporter james clayton has more. wow, i think there is no one in there. it's incredible. on san francisco streets, something straight out of a sci—fi film is happening. people are able to hail cabs with no driver — fully autonomous robo—taxis. some love it. i cannot believe this is happening. but is the tech ready? there's only one way to find out. get into one of these cars ourselves. the bbc was one of the first media organisations in the world to try it. car: buckle up and get ready to ride. - it's really, really weird. it not like a race track or a testing facility. we are fully in the centre of san francisco. the car is totally driverless. it's amazing, unnerving, surreal, all mixed into one.

on any of our cruise avs, we have lidar, we have radar and we have cameras. and what we do is all those together using machine learning and that gives us this amazing understanding of the world around us. but it didn't always feel like that. this is interesting. there is a bus in our lane and there are cars to our left. so what is it going to do? 0h. ok, it's pulling out left. oh, another bus is coming out. it really doesn't know what to do. 0h. there is a car behind us. like this isjust bad driving. i was ready to love this and i'm definitely... i'm definitely nervous. cruise has been involved in a number of accidents in san francisco this year, most of the minor. however, after a collision injune, its software was recalled. some believe it's too soon for real passengers to be driven around without a driver on urban streets. these vehicles are still somewhat in the test phase. we believe that manufacturers need to provide the public with some sort of transparent evidence that these

vehicles aren't going to cause problems, deaths or injuries on the road. we are six months into deploying this product — brand—new, game—changing product — and, with that, comes some early teething problems. we are really proud of our safety record and we report continuously to our regulators, and safety is absolutely the top priority at cruise. despite safety concerns, cruise's vision is to expand, and quickly. and if they get their way, these kinds of rides will become the new normal. bye. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. iam not i am not sure he was entirely sure about that. and you? not currently, i don't think so. maybe in america with a grid system with rules. most of the accidents have been minor. let us know what you think, whether

you would hail an automated taxi in the uk. time to get the news where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. many applicants to the windrush compensation scheme are still waiting for payments four years after the government wrongly classified them as illegal immigrants. one of those is auckland elwaldo romeo who's lived in the uk since he was four years old. he says trying to get the compensation he's owed has been devastating. they in the home office turned round and said, you've got no right of abode. it was rather puzzling and it was devastating for me. living in this country, being educated in this country. it needs to be resolved so at least you can breathe, and carry on a life without this big distraction.

the home office says its continuing to work with those affected to pay as much as possible as soon as it can. london air ambulance is launching an urgent fundraising appeal to raise £15 million to replace two helicopters. the aircraft are used on average about five times a day. the charity says without public donations, some of the most urgent patients wouldn't be reached in time. prince william is to deliver his first speech since king charles gave him the new title prince of wales. he'll address the united for wildlife global summit at the science museum, where he's expected to highlight illegal wildlife crime and its damaging impact on biodiversity and local communities. a new theatre school's going be created as part of a £1.3 billion regeneration project at olympia. the wetherby arts school will open in 2025, for children aged 11—18. the new west london cultural

and entertainment district is also going to include a live music venue, theatre, restaurants, bars and two hotels. a quick look at the travel situation now. and there's a good service all round so far. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a very mild start this morning. there is quite a bit of cloud around but that should start to thin and break. a couple of cold fronts sinking south but they fall short of bringing us rain through today. and you can see those isobars quite close together, it is going to be very windy. we will see the cloud lifting and breaking, some sunny spells mixed in there. there is the chance of an isolated shower, largely dry, and the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperature is very warm, 20 celsius the maximum which is above average for the time of year. overnight, it stays very windy. we are still going to see the cloud but again one or two clearer spells in there. should be largely dry, the minimum temperature exceptionally mild, 15 celsius in central london. tomorrow the cold front finally sinks south but it is going

to start stay very windy. it will be a dry start but then the rain will move through. through the middle part of the day, wind gusting 40 to 45 mph potentially but that clears, we will get sunshine to end the day and temperature reaching again 19, potentially 20 celsius. it is going to be a cooler night as we head into thursday, but plenty of dry weather in the forecast. few showers around and the temperature stays mild. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll meet the women who beat thousands of other applicants to work counting penguins in the wilds of antarctica. ralph and katie, characters from the popular the a word drama are back in a new series about their life as a married couple with down syndrome.

# leaving with the boy next door, can you fill me in? believe it or not it's been 22 years since craig david burst onto the music scene. he'll be joining us on the sofa just before nine o'clock to talk about his upcoming memoir and new album. i feel old! i feel even older! with the squeeze on the cost of living getting tighter, there's concern a fall in food donations from supermarkets could really hit people struggling to make ends meet. ben's here to tell us more. it really is. the warning has come from fareshare. fareshare collects surplus products from the food industry, and redistributes them

across the country to other charities. they then provide food parcels and meals to people who need help. so it has two main aims: to reduce food poverty, and also to reduce food waste, by making sure that unwanted and unused produce doesn't end up in landfill when it's still good to eat. in 2020, it provided 55,000 tonnes of food to help vulnerable people. that equals around 2.5 million meals every week and it says around two—thirds of what it distributes goes to children and families. but in recent months, fareshare says the donations from retailers are down around 200 tonnes per month, on average. they've actually dropped by a quarter compared with this time last year. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith visited one of the charity's warehouses. the supermarket contribution is incredibly important because it's

the supermarkets at the moment are more willing to send wonky fruit and veg to their stores than previously would have done, and that food may have come to us, for example. and food is going into stores with slightly less life than would have previously done, and that food again might have traditionally come to fareshare. so supply chain challenges, supermarkets trying to reduce waste, is resulting in less food coming to us. what's caused the drop in donations? fareshare said there was less food going spare, due to a number of issues in food production and the supply chain. at the same time, supermarkets are trying to be more efficient and waste less, to keep prices for their customers as low as possible at a time of surging bills. and it's notjust the supermarkets themselves with less to donate. fareshare also works with farmers and manufacturers and they are facing similar pressures. one of those is kelloggs. they told colletta that

being a responsible business means trying to be efficient and limit waste, which can have a knock—on effect. where we are at the moment is, like every business, wanting to be as efficient as possible and look at our costs. so we are trying to manage down the amount of food we give which causes a problem because as we try and do that, there is demand for fareshare and other food banks like never before. so we try to manage that demand, make sure that we can manage our efficiency so we don't waste food because no one wants to waste any food, but at the same time trying to meet that need for fareshare. what's the response from supermarkets? tesco, sainsbury�*s, morrisons, asda and waitrose all told us their donations were steady. sainsbury�*s and asda said they were also committed to reducing food waste with sainsburys acknowledging this could affect donations. the bbc understands

fareshare has now written to supermarkets and major brands, asking for further contributions. the charity says it is working to make sure it can access as much surplus food as possible, right across the food industry, so they can continue to support people who can't afford quality food. interesting because during the pandemic, the use of the food banks and fareshare went up and up, throughout all of that time,. if people rely on it for the essentials, and the food is in there, it creates a problems. thank ou.

there, it creates a problems. thank yom liverpool— there, it creates a problems. thank you. liverpool against _ there, it creates a problems. thank you. liverpool against rangers i you. liverpool against rangers tonight. that is a big game. it tonight. that isa bi came. , that is a big game. it is intriguing because they _ that is a big game. it is intriguing because they have _ that is a big game. it is intriguing because they have not _ that is a big game. it is intriguing because they have not played i that is a big game. it is intriguing| because they have not played each other before.— other before. that is a surprising. it is in other before. that is a surprising. it is in eumpe. — other before. that is a surprising. it is in europe, the _ other before. that is a surprising. it is in europe, the champions i it is in europe, the champions league, very exciting. it rangers win, they will be talking about it for the while! this the first time liverpool and rangers have faced each other in a competitive match and should the scottish side get a win at anfield, it's a result that will live long in the memory. chris mclaughlin reports. it's a world famous club with scots woven through the very heart of its history. and yet, liverpool have never played a competitive match against one of scotland's biggest clubs in rangers. the scene is set for what could be a cracker. it's going to be very difficult, it's a team who perform really well in the premier league, they were in three finals in the last five years. it is, i think, still,

one of the best teams in europe. so, if you look at all our opponents we face, the last season in europe and also this season, probably this is the strongest side. looking around earlier, this is a rangers squad who are back into champions league action after two heavy defeats at ajax and napoli. but domestic form is on the up. we don't want to just take part in this competition. we want to establish ourselves in the competition and go toe to toe with the giants of europe and that requires us to be competing in every aspect of the game, especially the way we played against napoli. the home side have tasted recent success in european club football's biggest competition, and the man in charge knows scottish football is improving. yeah, rangers and celtic are obviously the stand—out teams in the league, that's not news. but they do, and probably the best

you can get is how they did in europe and the rangers run last year in the european league was exceptional. the games against dortmund, for example, just really good. and a home game, you can see how atmosphere can give the edge in the game and that was really impressive. just looking at the game in the individual match, it probably means a bit more to rangers that it does to liverpool. but in the context of liverpool's season, they can't afford any more slip—ups because if they lose ground in the champions league group, that's something that, for a team that's reached the final three times in the last five years to not get out of the group stage is unthinkable. on match day three, anfield awaits a resurgent rangers. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, liverpool. liverpool hoping to shake off their poor domestic form at the moment but

it will not be easy against rangers. leicester city moved off the bottom of the premier league with a 4—0 thrashing of their east midlands rivals nottingham forest. it means forest now prop up the league, despite those 22 new summer signings, with manager steve cooper under pressure. joe lynskey reports. they're a team who won this league six years ago. now leicester faced their local rivals at the bottom of it. such was the form of both these teams, some called this match el sackico. sometimes a coach's job comes down to nick on the ball. to a nick on the ball. and it's deflected in byjames maddison. leicester's liftoff came through a deflection, but then they made their own luck. harvey barnes took the ball and found the corner, 2—0, and while for leicester it was ecstasy, for forest, it was bleak. and getting worse. james maddison�*s free kick made it three by half—time. he wants an england world cup spot. now leicester's internationals were stepping forward. their zambian striker, patson daka,

flicked in a fourth. leicester's first win of the season moves them up just one place and forest to the foot. with this defeat in the east midlands, their season is going south. joe lynskey, bbc news. one of the stars from the euros, alessia russo, will be a notable absentee at a sell out wembley on friday. as england test themselves against the world champions the united states, the manchester united forward is out through injury, she didn't play for her club side last weekend, ahead what is set to be an intriguing match against the world's best side, with the world cup to come next year. after a freak injury, england batsmanjonny bairstow has confirmed he won't play again this year after having surgery on a broken leg and dislocated ankle. he was in the form of his life this summer, but slipped on a tee box playing golf. he's already been ruled out of this month's t20 world cup and also missed the final test of england's home summer series with south africa.

going south—east but the other one grinding to a halt across scotland but it will brighten up in the final. it is windier to date more widely than it was yesterday, temperature 20 degrees, usually the average is 14 to 18 in london. overnight, the weather fronts average is 14 to 18 in london. overnight, the weatherfronts move north, a little area of low pressure developing and some heavy rain. the wind is picking up across england and wales and another two weather fronts coming our way. a mild night as well. here are the weather fronts, both slipping south. second when it's fairly weak. low pressure pushing into the north sea and all of those isobars telling you it will be another windy day. gales in exposure. heavy rain pushing into the north sea, our two weather fronts slip south and we are left with some blustery showers. some

over there they are doing malaria tests, in the corner the tests for hepatitis and here, a whole load of medicines available for people, all kinds of things from oral rehydration to antimalarials and there's even soap that they are providing people. fozia approaches the camp with herfour young children. she tells me they are all sick. translation: it's really difficult, there's water everywhere - and we can't get medicines. now, some help has arrived. to treat a rise in waterborne diseases like malaria and diarrhoea, and a spike in malnutrition. as doctors measure her arm, they learned that baby sima is perilously thin. since the floods, her mother has struggled to eat. there is a shortage of clean water and food supplies,

so mainly there are so many people like this baby, she's nine months old, and she is severely malnourished. these camps provide some relief. but with a shortage of medicines, boats and even doctors, not everyone can get this help. it could take months for the waters to recede, that's many more months of suffering. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. legislation to largely freeze rents and restrict evictions overwinter in the face of cost of living pressures has been introduced by the scottish government. the bill is set to be treated as emergency legislation and fast—tracked in a matter of days. i moved to edinburgh, which is already a more expensive city than glasgow, so i've already seen an increase in my housing costs of about £100 a month or so.

and i think what we were waiting on is for that to jump up another 100, £150. so i think it means that at least for six months, the only thing we really need to worry about is energy prices and the cost of food and stuff like that so it's a massive weight off the shoulders. let's speak to john blackwood, chief executive of the scottish association of landlords. it isa it is a massive weight loss of the shoulders of the rancher but what about the landlords? it will not. what are your members are saying about the impact of this change? fiur about the impact of this change? our members about the impact of this change?

and people who have seen their rental prices increased dramatically over the last few years. what rental prices increased dramatically over the last few years.— rental prices increased dramatically over the last few years. what we are seeinu is over the last few years. what we are seeing is an — over the last few years. what we are seeing is an ongoing _ over the last few years. what we are seeing is an ongoing rhetoric, i over the last few years. what we are seeing is an ongoing rhetoric, an i seeing is an ongoing rhetoric, an anti—landlord rhetoric from the scottish government. it's notjust about this one piece of legislation. we have been hearing a lot from the scottish government over the last yearin scottish government over the last year in particular about how they are becoming more and more anti landlord in their turn, and really discouraging future investment. really what we need to see is a well—functioning private rented sector. we want to see tenants supported but we want to see landlords are supported as well. what are your members are saying about how this might change their business models, the way they rent? i think you have to remember landlords are investors, and all investors get nervous in any marketplace from time to time and thatis marketplace from time to time and that is exactly what is happening just now. because when you hear the first minister stand in parliament saying, we are going to stop all

evictions, put a freeze on rents, of course investors are going to get nervous about that. landlords are going to think, if things get tough, i need to be able to sell my property and quite frankly in the future, that will be incredibly difficult to do so in scotland. there are exceptions as i understand it within the legislation which mean that if left —— if a landlord is facing increasing costs and mortgage payments go up, increase insurance, they won't necessarily be exposed in they won't necessarily be exposed in the same way. so i guess the scottish government would say that the legislation caters for flexibility. it the legislation caters for flexibility.— the legislation caters for flexibili. . ., flexibility. it certainly offering mitigations — flexibility. it certainly offering mitigations for _ flexibility. it certainly offering mitigations for landlords i flexibility. it certainly offering mitigations for landlords and | flexibility. it certainly offering i mitigations for landlords and that is something we welcome of course. it's something we were not expecting in the bill because the first minister did make a blanket statement in parliament saying there would be no elections, banning evictions, and a rent freeze. and there is an exception to both of those things within the bill. we are

pleased that the minister for housing in the scottish government has listened to landlords but it does not satisfy those landlord investors and encourage them to continue to invest. if investors and encourage them to continue to invest.— continue to invest. if you put ourself continue to invest. if you put yourself in — continue to invest. if you put yourself in the _ continue to invest. if you put yourself in the position i continue to invest. if you put yourself in the position of. continue to invest. if you put i yourself in the position of callum who we have heard from who feels some relief that he will be better protected and his rent will be not going up in the same way, can you understand why he might be feeling this is a good day?— this is a good day? definitely, of course. this is a good day? definitely, of course- at _ this is a good day? definitely, of course. at the _ this is a good day? definitely, of course. at the end _ this is a good day? definitely, of course. at the end of— this is a good day? definitely, of course. at the end of the i this is a good day? definitely, of course. at the end of the day, i course. at the end of the day, landlords have sympathy with tenants, whether some tenants believe that or not is another issue. an affordable rent is not good for tenants but it actually —— when a rent is unaffordable, it is bad for landlords because when a tenant cannot pay the rent it is a problem for the landlord. we all need to work together which is why we as an organisation has been sent to the government that they need to consult with us and work in partnership in the sector to find long—term solutions with these problems. unaffordable rent is not

good but equally we need to ensure that landlords and tenants work together to find solutions make we have got enough housing to house scotland's population in the future. we have got a housing crisis and the scottish government is not taking it seriously. scottish government is not taking it seriousl . . ., , scottish government is not taking it seriousl. . ., , ., ~ , seriously. landlords had kept rent down and made _ seriously. landlords had kept rent down and made it _ seriously. landlords had kept rent down and made it more _ seriously. landlords had kept rentl down and made it more affordable, may be the legislation would not have been needed.— may be the legislation would not have been needed. there is a range of issues involved, _ have been needed. there is a range of issues involved, market - have been needed. there is a range of issues involved, market forces, l of issues involved, market forces, what we have seen systematically over the last few years, if landlords leave the sector. we have told the government about that and said, we need to redress this, we need to look at why this is happening and encourage new investment orfor happening and encourage new investment or for landlords to continue to stay in the sector. to keep that supply healthy. it's all about supply and demand. that's why rent is going up, quite simply because there is not enough housing to rent. let's address that. we have

a similar issue in the social housing sector, there is not enough property there either so there is a whole sector problem across scotland. ~ whole sector problem across scotland-— whole sector problem across scotland. ~ ., ., ., scotland. we have to leave it there, thank ou scotland. we have to leave it there, thank you for— scotland. we have to leave it there, thank you forjoining _ scotland. we have to leave it there, thank you forjoining the. _ scotland. we have to leave it there, thank you forjoining the. thank i thank you for “oining the. thank ou. a rover designed and built by british engineers at airbus in stevenage was all set to go to mars until its role in a mission to collect martian rocks was cancelled. so what do you do with a robot that can't go to mars? go somewhere else! now it's a robot on the hunt for a newjob to prevent all of the expertise and work that's taken more than a decade from going to waste. our science editor rebecca morelle reports. one state—of—the—art rover. its skills, it can drive autonomously, negotiate the most difficult terrain and coping extreme environments. and cope in extreme environments. but now it's looking for work. built in the uk, it's being tested in a quarry in bedfordshire. it was heading for mars, until its mission was cancelled.

its task on the red planet was to pick up samples, but it's been scrapped. mini mars helicopters will do thejob instead. the uk doesn't want to see the technology mothballed, they think this rover has still got a bright future. we have spent a lot of time and a lot of effort on developing this expertise. we don't want to let that go to waste, we want to exploit it to make sure that investment comes to fruition. also, it puts us in a good place to be involved in future space missions which is brilliant for the reputation of the uk. so, where could the rover go instead of mars? one option could be to swap the red martian terrain for the grey lunar landscape. this rover was designed for mars. if it's heading to the moon, it will need some modifications. the lunar surface can get as hot as 120 degrees celsius, and as cold as —230. so this will have to cope with extremes.

there's also problem with light. the moon gets two weeks of daylight followed by two weeks of darkness, and this will be a challenge for solar power. and then there's the fine lunar dust. it's particularly clingy and abrasive, which could be an issue for the rover�*s moving parts. lunar exploration is having a resurgence right now. nasa's new artemis rocket will soon be heading there and eventually taking astronauts to the moon's surface. the idea is to have a permanent lunar base, and rovers could play a crucial role. they could be used anywhere that you want to do something autonomously, so it could be autonomously moving around rovers for building habitats, or it could be used for going to places that are uninhabitable by humans or an extreme temperature or particularly dangerous. so anywhere that you want to do something autonomously, this rover could still use that technology to do that. for now, the rover is out

of work, stuck on earth, driving around a quarry. but this isn't just about salvaging a £23 million piece of kit, it's about the people and expertise that goes with it. the hope is the rover gets some new employment soon. rebecca morelle, bbc news. how do you re—purpose a rover? how do you re-purpose a rover? leave it in a bedfordshire _ how do you re-purpose a rover? leave it in a bedfordshire quarry, _ it in a bedfordshire quarry, obviously, what else! wherever you are this morning, mars, moon, bedfordshire. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. many applicants to the windrush compensation scheme are still waiting for payments four years after the government wrongly classified them as illegal immigrants. one of those is auckland elwaldo romeo, who's lived in the uk since he was four years old. he says that trying to get the compensation he's owed

has been devastating. hearing the home office turn round and say, you've got no right of abode. it was rather puzzling and it was devastating for me. living in this country, being educated in this country. it needs to be resolved so at least you can breathe, and carry on a life without this big distraction. the home office says its continuing to work with those affected to pay as much as possible as soon as it can. london air ambulance is launching an urgent fundraising appeal to raise £15 million to replace two helicopters. the aircraft are used on average about five times a day. the charity says without public donations, some of the most urgent patients wouldn't be reached in time. prince william is to deliver his first speech since king charles gave him the new title prince of wales. he'll address the united for wildlife global summit

temperatures very warm, 20 celsius the maximum which is above average for the time of year. overnight, it stays very windy. we are still going to see the cloud but again one or two clearer spells in there. should be largely dry, the minimum temperature exceptionally mild, 15 celsius in central london. tomorrow, the cold front finally sinks south but it is going to stay very windy. it will be a dry start but then the rain will move through. through the middle part of the day, wind gusting 40 to 45 mph potentially but that clears, we will get sunshine to end the day and the temperature reaching again 19, potentially 20 celsius. it is going to be a cooler night as we head into thursday, but plenty of dry weather in the forecast. few showers around and the temperature stays mild. that's it from me. plenty more on our website. follow us on social media. i'm back at 7.30. enjoy your morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. another change to the government's financial plans after a u—turn on the top rate of tax, now the chancellor is bringing forward an announcement on cutting the uk's debt. a public inquiry into the covid—19 pandemic begins today — it's likely to last more than two years and hearfrom bereaved families as well as senior politicians and scientists. tighter laws on migrants — people who cross the channel illegally could be banned from claiming asylum. one for the history books as two british sides meet for the first time this evening as liverpool host rangers in the champions league. penguins and a post office. we meet the women who have landed dream jobs in a distant corner of the antarctic. good morning. a mile start across

the board. we also have heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland moving into england and wales to all but the south—east. wherever you are, it will be windy. all the details later. it's tuesday, 4th of october. the chancellor kwasi kwarteng is to make a further change to his financial plans and bring forward an announcement on the uk's debt. he was facing mounting criticism for insisting the details would not be published until late november. now, a new date is expected to be confirmed today. it follows yesterday's dramatic u—turn on the top rate of income tax, as our political correspondent helen catt reports. it's fantastic to be here with you this evening. the prime minister was out at events on the conference fringe last night, rallying supporters. so, too, was the chancellor. but the night before, they had had a meeting that ended in a major u—turn when they backtracked on a headline pledged to scrap the 45p top rate

of tax for the highest earners. in her first interview since, liz truss told the bbc that the government was listening. we are also a listening government, nick, that do listen to people. that do reflect on where we could have done things better, and i have said that about laying the groundwork, i have said that about the specific feedback we have had on the 45p tax rate. now there has been a new reversal. just yesterday on this programme, the chancellor committed to when he would set out his debt plan. we are going to have a medium—term plan that is going to come out, as i've said, at the end of november. and all those plans will be set out in fuller detail there. sources have told the bbc he will now do it sooner than the end of november. he had been under pressure to speed the statement up to help calm the markets. but there could be fresh trouble brewing about benefits. under borisjohnson, there was a pledge to raise them in line with inflation. liz truss won't commit to that.

we are working very closely with the obr. it's important that we have a forecast to go with that plan, and that is something the chancellor is working on. but you would bring it forward if you could? i i am a very clear that we have committed to having a proper obr forecast to reducing debt as a proportion of gdp over time. a number of conservative mps have already said they have concerns. and the immediate criticisms haven't quite gone away, either. the former home secretary, priti patel, is expected to weigh in later, and warned that the conservatives will live or die by their economic credibility. helen catt, bbc news, birmingham. you heard the prime minister there refer to the obr — that's the office for budget responsibility. ben's here to explain why it's important and why you'll hear it mentioned quite a lot in the coming days. three little letters, but very

important. it is the independent watchdog that gives a verdict on the health of the economy and the effect government financial plans will have and it gives them weight and credibility. the mini—budget did not include the analysis. it was going to be published alongside other details on november the 23rd which will now happen sooner. the obr was set up by the government in 2010 with thejob of set up by the government in 2010 with the job of assessing economic plans the government comes up with. in a sense, marking the government homework. the obr publishes two forecasts every year, normally ahead of the spring statement and another in the autumn along with the budget. the forecasts give an indication of the health of the economy and how it might perform over the coming five years. it is unusual for a government to make any major economic reforms such as big tax

cuts without an obr forecast. but the chancellor's mini—budget did not have that analysis which is a major reason markets and investors reacted negatively. they like the watchdog boss mac verdict to reassure them. it is reported the obr offered to write a report that the government declined. after the turmoil with the pound falling and borrowing costs soaring, liz truss met the head of obr, which is an unusual move. we now know we will get the watchdog's verdict before november the 23rd. when exactly is not yet clear. this is part of the government trying to reassure the market still? and steady the ship. the first hearing of the uk covid public inquiry will begin later today to examine the uk's response to coronavirus and the impact of the pandemic. the hearing had originally been scheduled for last month, but was delayed after the death

of the queen. our health correspondent jim reed reports. on a long wall in westminster, relatives of those who lost their lives to covid have left their marks and memories. sylvia jackson died in the first wave of the pandemic. like so many others, her daughter wants to know if the right decisions were taken at the time. so all kinds of questions and the fact that none of them have been answered yet is precisely the reason why we need this inquiry. i don't know who is responsible for my mum's death. and i want to know. and if they behaved wrongly, i want them held to account. that's only right, that's only right. today, in this room in west london, the process of finding those answers gets under way. the uk covid inquiry is so wide—ranging, it will have to be split into separate sections. the first tackling preparations for a pandemic starts this morning. next month sees the start

of the second section on political decision—making, including the timing of lockdowns. preliminary hearings this autumn will be followed by full public hearings next year, where ministers and other decision—makers will be called to give evidence. this all matters to people like abi williams. the care home she runs lost residents in the first wave of covid. it is important for us to...for lessons learned, really. we want to know what went wrong, how can it be better handled, and we want to learn from it and to be more prepared in future. covid is still with us, of course. though the fast roll—out of vaccines across the world has cut the risk of hospitalisation and death. doctors say learning lessons now is vital to better understand what happened and to better protect

ourselves against any future pandemic. jim reed, bbc news. a woman has died after being attacked by dogs at a house in liverpool. it happened yesterday afternoon in the kirkdale area of the city. reporter alison freeman is there. what more can you tell us? merseyside police told us they were called herejust merseyside police told us they were called here just before 4:30pm yesterday to reports a woman aged in her 60s had been attacked by dogs. the force said they were called by the ambulance service and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. behind me there is a cover across the front of the house. we know the woman died inside the property. she has not yet been named by police to the public although they say her

next of kin have been told about what happened. the force acted quickly, cordoning off the area to carry out investigations. we understand investigations will be ongoing throughout the day. the police said they are keen to hear from anybody who might have information about what led to the tragedy happening. information about what led to the tragedy happening-— ukrainian troops have broken through russian positions near kherson, a strategic city in a part of southern ukraine annexed by moscow last week. the advance was reported by the russian military our correspondent hugo bachega joins us from kyiv. how significant is this for ukraine? good morning, it is significant because this is the most significant breakthrough for ukrainians in the south since the start of the counteroffensive. after weeks of cou nteroffe nsive. after weeks of fighting counteroffensive. after weeks of fighting and almost no movement in

military positions in that part of the country. the ukrainians seem to be advancing along the dnipro river, a strategic river. it acts as a natural barrier in that region of kherson. it seems they have recaptured several villages in this area. this progress by the ukrainians threatens supply lines to thousands of russian troops who are positioned in that part of the country. so it is significant. this is what is happening in the south. in the east of the country, the ukrainians are fortifying positions especially around a key town that was being used as a major transport and logistics hub by the russians in the to region. and all these gains

happening in regions that president putin said would be annexed. it is embarrassing _ putin said would be annexed. it is embarrassing for the russians. very interesting. thank you for the update. north korea has fired a ballistic missile overjapan for the first time in five years. the launch is the fifth in recent days by pyongyang. japan has accused north korea of threatening the security of the region. tougher rules for migrants are expected to be set out by the new home secretary suella braverman later today when she addresses the conservative party conference. so far this year, more than 32,000 people have crossed the english channel on small boats. that's already over 4,000 more than the total for last year. in response, the home secretary will promise to step up efforts to stem the flow of people risking their lives to make the treacherous crossing.

measures will include working to increase the level of interceptions carried out by the french authorities, providing further british support and co—operation to tackle the criminal gangs responsible and looking at new powers to make it easier to deport those who enter the uk illegally. let's get some reaction from chief executive of the refugee council, enver solomon. good morning. can you explain the scale of this problem?— scale of this problem? there is no doubt this is _ scale of this problem? there is no doubt this is a _ scale of this problem? there is no doubt this is a challenge - scale of this problem? there is no doubt this is a challenge for i scale of this problem? there is no doubt this is a challenge for the i doubt this is a challenge for the government when large numbers of people risk their lives and are being controlled by people smugglers, criminal gangs. it is a serious problem but the question is how we solve it. how do we ensure people are kept safe. these are men, women and children, the majority of whom, through no fault of their own, have lost everything because of war

and persecution. three quarters who come to the uk seeking safety are granted refugee protection. because these are people in search of safety, we need to come up with solutions that recognise why they come to the uk. the first thing we must do is stop having a war of words with the french and eu and get round the table and negotiate a solution so that people do not have to take dangerous journeys across the channel. i5 to take dangerous “ourneys across the channel._ to take dangerous “ourneys across the channel. is enforcement alone the channel. is enforcement alone the riaht the channel. is enforcement alone the right way? _ the channel. is enforcement alone the right way? i — the channel. is enforcement alone the right way? i do _ the channel. is enforcement alone the right way? i do not— the channel. is enforcement alone the right way? i do not think i the right way? i do not think enforcement _ the right way? i do not think enforcement is _ the right way? i do not think enforcement is the - the right way? i do not think enforcement is the right i the right way? i do not think| enforcement is the right way. the right way? i do not think i enforcement is the right way. if it were, people would stop coming. there have been large amounts of money, multimillions of pounds given to the french to focus on enforcement. an attempt also how to push back. and now the threat of sending people without a fair hearing to rwanda, millions of miles

away across the globe, treating them no more than human cargo. none of this makes a difference. it is not acting as a deterrent which means the government needs to look at other solutions that recognise the complexity of the challenge which is a global challenge. many people are trying to enter europe across the mediterranean and this is a challenge for the whole of europe because people are seeking safety because people are seeking safety because of wars taking place across the globe. as a result we need to seek solutions with other countries who recognise the nature of the problem as a shared problem with shared solutions to address why people make dangerous journeys. there are reports the new home secretary is planning to stop people who cross the channel from seeking asylum. migrants making thatjourney not being able to claim asylum. i have seen a report in the times newspaper. it is worrying and would mean that this country, a founding

signatory to the un convention on refugees would effectively be walking away from that convention. imagine that this country, which was a founding signatory of one of the most important international conventions, suddenly says we will walk away. we have not done that to a convention in this way before and i cannot imagine the government would be seriously prepared to do that again. you would be seriously prepared to do that aaain. ., , would be seriously prepared to do thataaain. ., , ., ,, . ., that again. you must appreciate the government — that again. you must appreciate the government has _ that again. you must appreciate the government has to _ that again. you must appreciate the government has to find _ that again. you must appreciate the government has to find a _ that again. you must appreciate the government has to find a route i that again. you must appreciate the government has to find a route outl government has to find a route out of this problem. what is that? absolutely, i recognise that and believe there are solutions. we could have a grown—up conversation with the french, look at providing more safe routes, things like family reunion. if you are an afghan and fleeing the taliban, you cannot get a visa in afghanistan, you have to take a dangerous journey and be controlled by criminal gangs. we

need safe routes and to work with the french to see if mechanisms for looking at how we assess claims in northern france so they do not need to take dangerous journeys across the channel. i want them to stop as much as the government does. what much as the government does. what can ou much as the government does. what can you tell— much as the government does. what can you tell us _ much as the government does. what can you tell us about _ much as the government does. what can you tell us about the _ much as the government does. what can you tell us about the upsurge in albanian nationals in france at the moment? , . ,, ., , albanian nationals in france at the moment? , . , , ., , ., albanian nationals in france at the moment? , . ,, ., , ., , albanian nationals in france at the moment? ,, ., , ., , ., moment? this appears to be a new trend. moment? this appears to be a new trend- the — moment? this appears to be a new trend. the governments _ moment? this appears to be a new trend. the governments either i moment? this appears to be a new trend. the governments either in i trend. the governments either in london or albania does not fully understand what is going on and do not know if they are albanians from albania or kosovo or other parts. clearly this is something controlled by criminal gangs. we need to ensure the government works with european countries to bear down on the criminal gangs. we also need to remember more than half of those albanians that come to the uk are granted refugee status. and we work with many albanians who were victims

of trafficking and exploitation and as a result we need to ensure every albanian who comes here is given a fair hearing. at the same time we need to have safe routes. germany had a similar problem and they had managed migration, a short—term visa to allow people to go to germany. that stopped criminal gangs overnight. if this government wants to bring in visas for agricultural workers, they could look at that option with albania.— workers, they could look at that option with albania. thank you very much indeed- _ option with albania. thank you very much indeed. if _ option with albania. thank you very much indeed. if life _ option with albania. thank you very much indeed. if life seems - option with albania. thank you very much indeed. if life seems a i option with albania. thank you very| much indeed. if life seems a dragon this morning and you think you could have a change of scene, newjob, we will bejoined by have a change of scene, newjob, we will be joined by people who are turning that on their heads and having a new start the likes of which he will not believe it. first, let's talk to carol. i am thinking

red sky in the morning, it is a warning. do we need to be worried? you absolutely still my line. i am sorry! it is a red sky in the morning, taken in the scottish borders. it is ahead of a weather front bringing heavy and persistent rain. already across scotland and northern ireland. through the day it will move south. it will notjust be rain, it is also windy. when you see the green and yellow, it tells you where there are heavy bursts. the rain pushing out of northern ireland. a second front coming will bring more rain. ahead of it, mostly dry in england and wales. a lot of cloud. some bright spells but not too long before the first band of rain arrives and then the second halts over scotland and northern ireland. does not quite get into the

south—east. scattered showers and blustery. it will be a mild day and also windy. this evening and overnight, if anything the fronts retreat northwards and we see low pressure bringing more heavy rain pushing north. we have two trailing fronts. it will be a mild night, windy. the wind picking up especially in england and wales. tomorrow, the low pressure goes taking the heavy rain. and then we are back into heavy, potentially heavy showers and another windy day. temperatures up to about 19. thanks. do you ever dream about running away? of running away? of course not. very happy here. but everybody thinks what it would be like if they went to do something completely different.

desert island, sunshine. a nice beach and palm trees. that is not quite the change of scene the next guests are having. they will take remote working to the next level. that's because they are heading off to antarctica to take up jobs that include counting penguins and running the world's most isolated post office. before we talk to them let's find out a little more about their new jobs. music plays.

waiting for payments four years after the government wrongly classified them as illegal immigrants. one of those is auckland elwaldo romeo who's lived in the uk since he was four years old. he says trying to get the compensation he's owed has been devastating. hearing the home office turn round and say, you've got no right of abode. it was rather puzzling and it was devastating for me. living in this country, being educated in this country. it needs to be resolved so at least you can breathe, and carry on a life without this big distraction. the home office says it's continuing to work with those affected to pay as much as possible as soon as it can. the inquest into the death of chris kaba, who was shot by the police last month, is due to be opened and adjourned later.

the unarmed 24—year—old was driving a carflagged as involved in a firearms incident. the officer involved has been suspended and the police watchdog is investigating as a potential homicide. london air ambulance is launching an urgent fundraising appeal to raise £15 million to replace two helicopters. the charity says without public donations, some of the most urgent patients wouldn't be reached in time. a new theatre school's going be created as part of a £1.3 billion regeneration project at olympia. the wetherby arts school will open in 2025. it's part of the new west london cultural district which will also include a live music venue and a theatre. a quick look at the travel situation now. there's a good service all round so far. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a very mild start this morning. there is quite a bit of cloud around but that should start to thin and break.

a couple of cold fronts sinking south but they fall short of bringing us rain through today. and you can see those isobars quite close together, it is going to be very windy. we will see the cloud lifting and breaking, some sunny spells mixed in there. there is the chance of an isolated shower, largely dry, and the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperatures very warm, 20 celsius the maximum which is above average for the time of year. overnight, it stays very windy. we are still going to see the cloud but again one or two clearer spells in there. should be largely dry, the minimum temperature exceptionally mild, 15 celsius in central london. tomorrow, the cold front finally sinks south but it is going to stay very windy. it will be a dry start but then the rain will move through. through the middle part of the day, wind gusting a0 to 45 mph potentially but that clears, we will get sunshine to end the day and the temperature reaching again

19, potentially 20 celsius. it is going to be a cooler night as we head into thursday, but plenty of dry weather in the forecast. few showers around and the temperature stays mild. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. exactly this time yesterday we were getting this news. that exactly this time yesterday we were getting this news.— getting this news. that kwasi kwarten: getting this news. that kwasi kwarteng was _ getting this news. that kwasi kwarteng was going - getting this news. that kwasi kwarteng was going to - getting this news. that kwasi| kwarteng was going to change getting this news. that kwasi - kwarteng was going to change his plans in the top rate of tax. and then this morning another change, his statement on debt and how he is going to handle the uk's debt which was going to be at the end of november is now going to be brought forward to. hot november is now going to be brought forward to. ., , , forward to. not sure when but sooner than originally — forward to. not sure when but sooner than originally planned. _ our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster this morning. nick, what can we expect there today? good morning, sally. it has been a

listening but we have listened, he is going to focus on the tax cuts for 30 million people and driving economic growth which ultimately means more money for public services. so i think what they have donein services. so i think what they have done in a good thing, they have shown they are prepared to listen to people. i’m shown they are prepared to listen to eo - le. �* , ., people. i'm interested in how . uickl people. i'm interested in how quickly this— people. i'm interested in how quickly this is _ people. i'm interested in how quickly this is all _ people. i'm interested in how quickly this is all happening. | people. i'm interested in how- quickly this is all happening. this time yesterday the chancellor was still telling us that his medium—term plan was going to be at the end of november. we now think it is going to be this month. do you agree with those ministers telling us privately that the prime minister has been very weakened by this? h0. has been very weakened by this? no, the prime has been very weakened by this? iifr, the prime minister and the chancellor, 95% of the package they set out is in place, a package which will drive economic growth, i fully support it because i think we need to see a different approach, low tax economy that drives growth. taste to see a different approach, low tax economy that drives growth. we have talked about — economy that drives growth. we have talked about that _ economy that drives growth. we have talked about that a _ economy that drives growth. we have talked about that a lot _ economy that drives growth. we have talked about that a lot but _ economy that drives growth. we have talked about that a lot but there - economy that drives growth. we have talked about that a lot but there is i talked about that a lot but there is a big question, the prime minister and chancellor have been in office for a month and already they are having to perform these massive u—turns that they did not want to do, that they were forced to do. that question is really important,

can the prime minister and chancellor still maintain the authority they need to run the country? authority they need to run the count ? �* , , authority they need to run the count? 2, . ., authority they need to run the count? . ., ,~ country? let's be clear, they have chanced country? let's be clear, they have changed one _ country? let's be clear, they have changed one part _ country? let's be clear, they have changed one part of— country? let's be clear, they have changed one part of a _ country? let's be clear, they have changed one part of a very - changed one part of a very substantial package. within a scheme of the package it is quite a small part. the wider package about supporting businesses and individuals in the most vulnerable individuals in the most vulnerable in society is what we are taking forward, and the ability to focus on those tax cuts for 30 million people, £1200 support for the most vulnerable directly in society, this huge package of support, arguably the biggest package of energy supports to help anywhere in the world, is what the prime minister and chancellor want to focus on. i think that is good that they have made that decision to deal with that so quickly. made that decision to deal with that so ruickl . ~' ., ,., ., made that decision to deal with that so ruickl . ~' ., ., so quickly. thinking to some of your conservative — so quickly. thinking to some of your conservative colleagues _ so quickly. thinking to some of your conservative colleagues right -- - conservative colleagues right —— speaking to some of your conservative colleagues around here, who put pressure on the government to change the 45p u—turn, they think they can now force the government to do other things. how worried are you that the tory backbenches will hold

the prime minister's vt�*s to the fire and there be more rebellions? we have always had parliamentary democracy in this country, and opposition and backbenchers always hold the feet to the fire, i have taken legislation through parliament and that is what makes our institution strong, parliamentary democracy. so it is right that the chancellor and prime ministers and do notjust parliamentarians but people across the country. let's not get away from the huge package... taste get away from the huge package... we have talked about it a lot. the next big battle seems to be on benefits and how much they should go up by, should it be the rate of inflation or something else? could you justify to the electorate during a cost of living crisis cutting benefit in real terms? i living crisis cutting benefit in real terms?— living crisis cutting benefit in realterms? ~' ., , ., real terms? i think we have shown not 'ust real terms? i think we have shown not just through _ real terms? i think we have shown notjust through protecting - real terms? i think we have shown notjust through protecting the - real terms? i think we have shown l notjust through protecting the most vulnerable from these energy prices

and global prices but all through a war in ukraine and covid that this government does focus on the most vulnerable in society. i know we will be at the forefront of that, there is a proper process that the work and pensions team go through to decide what the position will be with benefit over the autumn, they are making a statement as they will do in due course and i am not going to be drawn into those decisions, it is for them to do that to work. i had cabinet collective responsibility so i will support the secretary of state.— secretary of state. there is a debate going _ secretary of state. there is a debate going on _ secretary of state. there is a debate going on in _ secretary of state. there is a debate going on in cabinet i secretary of state. there is a - debate going on in cabinet about whether you should raise benefit on the rate of inflation, where do you stand? t the rate of inflation, where do you stand? ., the rate of inflation, where do you stand? . ,. , , ., stand? i have never discussed what is said in cabinet _ stand? i have never discussed what is said in cabinet and _ stand? i have never discussed what is said in cabinet and never- is said in cabinet and never broached... is said in cabinet and never broached. . ._ is said in cabinet and never broached... �* ., , [m broached... are you not tempted? i'm afraid i'm going _ broached... are you not tempted? i'm afraid i'm going to _ broached... are you not tempted? i'm afraid i'm going to resist _ broached... are you not tempted? i'm afraid i'm going to resist that - broached... are you not tempted? i'm afraid i'm going to resist that and - afraid i'm going to resist that and let my colleague to herjob, do that work, and present it to parliament. i would say the underlying principle is that the government have shown is protecting the most vulnerable in

through the currency movements as well. the bank of england sets interest rates and that isn't independent right for them, rightly. talking about the —— that is an independent right for them. talking about the housing market, the chancellor's changes on stamp duty will help more people onto the housing ladder at lower cost. it housing ladder at lower cost. it will be offset by the increase in the cost of borrowing. fine will be offset by the increase in the cost of borrowing.- will be offset by the increase in the cost of borrowing. one of the thins the cost of borrowing. one of the thin . s we the cost of borrowing. one of the things we see — the cost of borrowing. one of the things we see consistently, - the cost of borrowing. one of the l things we see consistently, people talk about the impact of housing, there is a consistent demand for housing. the housing market is a positive market. we have seen prices rise consistently over the years since the recession that labour brought in at the end of their time in government. the stamp duty change will be good for homeowners and people who want to get onto the housing ladder. the people who want to get onto the housing ladder.— people who want to get onto the housina ladder. ., , , housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking — housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking quite _ housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking quite a _ housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking quite a lot _ housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking quite a lot of— housing ladder. the government seems to be rethinking quite a lot of what - to be rethinking quite a lot of what was done when you are northern ireland secretary under boris johnson's government, he ireland secretary under boris johnson's government, be it tax, be it some of its approach to things that benefits. if nadine dorries,

election, does he? i think this government wants as long as possible to try and get stuff done. and on that topic, liz truss's speech to conference is tomorrow? yes, tomorrow morning, we will get her setting out her grand vision. an interesting backdrop, because i think when you have been prime ministerfor a month, you would expect to come to conference and be on your honeymoon, been a pretty good place, say to the world, here is what i want to do. she is on the back foot going into that speech tomorrow. her big challenge is going tomorrow. her big challenge is going to be to get some of the back when we know a lot of her party are less than happy.— are less than happy. indeed, thank ou ve are less than happy. indeed, thank you very much _ are less than happy. indeed, thank you very much indeed. _ are less than happy. indeed, thank you very much indeed. a _ are less than happy. indeed, thank you very much indeed. a month, . you very much indeed. a month, goodness me! aha, you very much indeed. a month, goodness me!— you very much indeed. a month, goodness me! a lot can happen in a month. goodness me! a lot can happen in a month- four — goodness me! a lot can happen in a month. four weeks _ goodness me! a lot can happen in a month. four weeks ago _ goodness me! a lot can happen in a month. four weeks ago today - goodness me! a lot can happen in a month. four weeks ago today you l goodness me! a lot can happen in a . month. four weeks ago today you were in downing street? incredible. time for the sport. a lot of pressure on this man tonight. i'm just generally liverpool. yes.

and one for the history books. it's a huge podium for us to perform, not only for the club but also for the players. as i said before, against a quality side. and it's since many years there was a scottish team playing against an english team. i think the first time in both histories of the club that we are facing each other. so, we are excited to be here and try to get a good result. really good football team, and that's what we have to prepare for. and a team that have had results how they didn't want. so that's what they want to change, definitely. so we expect a proper fight, a real fight so that's what we're prepared for. with the pressure building, results against you, last night's game between leicester and nottingham forest was being dubbed "el sackico".

such was the difficulties facing both managers but it's brendan rodgers' leicester who are breathing a sigh of relief after a much needed win. judging by the goals you wouldn't have thought they're in trouble. harvey barnes with their second and james maddison with that one, forest now prop up the league. tonight was a season changing game for us. we felt that if we could perform, so we could get the result this evening in a massive derby game, that could be the shot in the arm for us. but we got the performance as well. the intensity right from the very beginning was outstanding so i'm really happy for the players, really happy for the supporters because they suffered when we played nottingham forest last time and tonight was for them. i'm not looking at these [ads and thinking that they don't care. we are just a really fresh group that are trying to come together and like i said in the previous game, we are going through difficult moments that normally you sort of look at pre—season. and we're having to go through that

process in the most difficult league in the world. so it's tough at the moment, i won't shy away from that. one of the stars from the euros, alessia russo, will be a notable after a freak injury, england batsmenjonny bairstow has confirmed he won't play again this year after having surgery on a broken leg and dislocated ankle. he was in the form of his life this summer, but slipped on a tee box playing golf. he's already been ruled out of this month's t20 world cup and also missed the final test of england's home summer series with south africa. and when sport is yourjob, and you're having to look after your body, how much sport is too much? world number one iga swiatek has critcised the scheduling of events, after annoucing she'll miss a tournament next month, the billiejean king cup, and won't represent poland in glasgow. the situation that we're put in is not comfortable. yeah, it would be great if they could really cooperate next year because it also happened last year.

i know this is mainly because of covid and all of the changes in schedule, i know also it's kind of tough business wise to find a proper place, but ijust don't think it's going to help us to perform well and to just make a good show, which is the goal of tennis sometimes, to entertain people, you know? so, yeah, i don't like it, for sure. it's interesting that someone of her stature in the game speaks out. those who run the schedule will certainly take notice especially with tennis, it is essentially all year. with tennis, it is essentially all ear. �* , ., year. and they want her there. absolutely. — year. and they want her there. absolutely, you _ year. and they want her there. absolutely, you want - year. and they want her there. absolutely, you want your- year. and they want her there. absolutely, you want your big | year. and they want her there. - absolutely, you want your big names. if they start to select the tournaments they play at, that will have a massive impact.— have a massive impact. literally, es. have a massive impact. literally, yes- thank _ have a massive impact. literally, yes- thank you — have a massive impact. literally, yes. thank you very _ have a massive impact. literally, yes. thank you very much - have a massive impact. literally, | yes. thank you very much indeed. here on breakfast we've been following the story of former rugby league star rob burrow since he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in late 2019. we've produced a documentary that will air on bbc two,

are expecting in the next few days, cloudy, wet and windy. windier than it has been in the last few. you can see the amount of rental that we are expecting as we go through the week, not much initially in the south—east. the key is up here, you can see it is southern areas, not much, but in western scotland, we could get up to 200 millimetres of rainfall before the end of this week. we have already had a deluge this morning, hammering down across scotland and northern ireland, all of this cloud wrapped around an area of this cloud wrapped around an area of low pressure. across england and wales is a mostly dry start and mild wherever you are. you can see the extent of the rain crossing scotland and northern ireland. the first one across england and wales, not getting into the far south—eastern quarter. the second one halts across

southern scotland and northern ireland, bringing more rain. the far north of scotland should brighten up, blustery with scattered showers, and wherever you are it will be windy, especially england and wales. temperatures 13 to 20 degrees. heading on through the evening and overnight, the two weather fronts start to wave north, and an area of low pressure developing drag on these fronts northwards. you can see these fronts northwards. you can see the tail end of them in the west. another windy night, the wind picking up if anything, especially across england and wales, and it's going to be another mild one, rather like the one we have just had. here are the two weather fronts, the low pressure continuing to pull steadily northwards. second when the front is a fairly weak affair and the isobars tell us we are looking at a windy day with gales tell us we are looking at a windy day with gates and exposure. he was the week when the front heading south, the persistent rain clears

scotland and we are left with a lot of showers. —— here is the week when the front. some of the showers will be heavy and pantry. it will be windy all day even inland but especially over the coasts. temperature wise, cooler in the north and west, as you push further south,... blustery winds and we have got various weather fronts moving across us as well. it will turn fresher for many of us on thursday and friday. something a little bit drier towards the south—east. it is drier towards the south-east. it is still uuite drier towards the south-east. it is still quite mild? _ drier towards the south-east. it is still quite mild? yes, _ drier towards the south-east. it is still quite mild? yes, average - still quite mild? yes, average temperature _ still quite mild? yes, average temperature is _ still quite mild? yes, average temperature is 14 _ still quite mild? yes, average temperature is 14 to - still quite mild? yes, average temperature is 14 to 17 - still quite mild? yes, average temperature is 14 to 17 in - still quite mild? yes, average temperature is 14 to 17 in the | temperature is 14 to 17 in the south, 18 in london, it is you are right. it's that time of year again —

it's showing you all the great work that children in need do. —— if you are going past the supermarket, you can throw a quid in. i know a lot about the show but i cannot tell you anything. it will be spectacular, it will be great, jon! i love it when you see all of the schoolkids getting involved and people doing mad stuff, that is what i love. look on the website and see what you can do this year. it's a time when we need it the most, some of the charities that we are dealing with, something like four in five charities are saying that not only are they dealing with their core projects, in their communities, they are also having to deal with the essentials, feed kids and clothe kids and sort toiletries out, stuff which is not their mainjob. a lot of them are now dealing with mental health. it might not be their main call think that the charity is doing

but they are dealing with mental health of children as well. so if you are worried about cost of living and you are a grown up, imagine what it must be like being a kid and hearing these big numbers and your parents being worried. i have been there myself as a kid, i grew up in a below poverty line childhood, and my parents stressed and worried. i wouldn't wish it on anybody, it was awful. ~ ., wouldn't wish it on anybody, it was awful. . ., ., ,, wouldn't wish it on anybody, it was awful. . ., ., ~ , .,~ ., awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you — awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you are _ awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you are doing _ awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you are doing this, - awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you are doing this, on i awful. what do your kids make of the fact that you are doing this, on a i fact that you are doing this, on a dead proud?— fact that you are doing this, on a dead aroud? , ., ., ., ., dead proud? they are over the moon, to be honest- — dead proud? they are over the moon, to be honest. hopefully— dead proud? they are over the moon, to be honest. hopefully they - dead proud? they are over the moon, to be honest. hopefully they are i to be honest. hopefully they are going to come down and watch the show here at media city. it feels like a very big moment, i think. and just i think, when you have been in a career as long as i have, nearly 25 years, there are not many surprises that come along. you just get along with things and do your job and then someone rings you up and says, will you host children in need? and you think, gosh! lguihat

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. another change to the government's financial plans — after a u—turn on the top rate of tax, now the chancellor is bringing forward an announcement on cutting the uk's debts. a public inquiry into the covid—19 pandemic begins today.

it's likely to last more than two years and hearfrom bereaved families as well as senior politicians and scientists. tighter laws on migrants — people who cross the channel illegally could be banned from claiming asylum. one for the history books as two british sides meet for the first time this evening. liverpool host rangers in the champions league. he's the r&b dj with an mbe. craig david on stage shows, a royal performance and 22 years in the industry. he will be here with us. good morning, a mile start. we have heavy rain in scotland and northern ireland which is moving southwards and eastwards to all but the far south—east of england. and it will

be windy wherever you are. all the details later. it's tuesday, the 4th of october. our main story. the chancellor kwasi kwarteng is to make a further change to his financial plans and bring forward an announcement on the uk's debts. he was facing mounting criticism for insisting the details would not be published until late november. a new date is expected to be confirmed today. it follows yesterday's dramatic u—turn on the top rate of income tax, as our political correspondent helen catt reports. it's fantastic to be here with you this evening. the prime minister was out at events on the conference fringe last night, rallying supporters. so, too, was the chancellor. but the night before, they had had a meeting that ended in a major u—turn when they backtracked on a headline pledge to scrap the 45p top rate of tax for the highest earners. in her first interview since, liz truss told the bbc that the government was listening.

we are also a listening government, nick, that do listen to people. that do reflect on where we could have done things better, and i have said that about laying the groundwork, i have said that about the specific feedback we have had on the 45p tax rate. now there has been a new reversal. just yesterday on this programme, the chancellor committed to when he would set out his debt plan. we are going to have a medium—term plan that is going to come out, as i've said, at the end of november. and all those plans will be set out in fuller detail there. sources have told the bbc he will now do it sooner than the end of november. he had been under pressure to speed the statement up to help calm the markets. but there could be fresh trouble brewing about benefits. under borisjohnson, there was a pledge to raise them in line with inflation. liz truss won't commit to that. we are working very closely with the obr.

it's important that we have a forecast to go with that plan, and that is something the chancellor is working on. but you will bring it i forward if you could? i am a very clear that we have committed to having a proper obr forecast to reducing debt as a proportion of gdp over time. a number of conservative mps have already said they have concerns. and the immediate criticisms haven't quite gone away, either. the former home secretary, priti patel, is expected to weigh in later, and warned that the conservatives will live or die by their economic credibility. helen catt, bbc news, birmingham. chief political correspondent nick eardley is at the conservative party conference in birmingham. another day, another u—turn of types on the timing of the announcement. how damaging is this proving to be for the conservatives? i do how damaging is this proving to be for the conservatives?— for the conservatives? i do not think there _ for the conservatives? i do not think there is _ for the conservatives? i do not think there is any _ for the conservatives? i do not think there is any doubt i for the conservatives? i do not think there is any doubt it i for the conservatives? i do not think there is any doubt it is i think there is any doubt it is damaging for the government. a month

into office the prime minister and chancellor are being forced to do things they did not want to do. let's be clear, the chancellor did not want to u—turn on the 45p tax policy, the income tax cut for people on the highest salaries. he resisted the idea of bringing forward his plan to this month, which was going to set out how he will bring down debt in the longer term. he is being forced to do stuff, mostly by people here, conservative backbenchers making it clear what they are not happy with. what i find interesting is the backbenchers think they can force the government hand on other things. there is a debate coming about benefits and how much they should go up benefits and how much they should go up by. the last government under borisjohnson said they should go up by inflation and that is the current policy. other options are being

discussed by liz truss which is putting benefits up by the average salary increase which would be less and effectively mean a real terms cut to benefit payments. that is a battle raging. tory backbenchers think they can defeat the government on. we had damien green telling the bbc this morning he thinks the prime minister would lose a vote in parliament on that issue. there is also a feeling that the government is doing a lot of things the last government did not want to do. nadine dorries, former culture secretary, said there should be a general election because this government is ripping up so many plans of the last administration under borisjohnson. we had half an hour ago from thejustice secretary hour ago from the justice secretary brandon lewis and i put to him that idea it was time for an election. taste idea it was time for an election. we are still delivering on the 2019

election. what does that mean? two years until the next. in that time, liz truss will try to get some of her controversial policies through. all the while, she knows a lot of mps are opposed to them and will make life difficult for the new prime minister.— the first preliminary hearing of the uk covid public inquiry will begin later today to examine the uk's response to coronavirus and the impact of the pandemic. the hearing had originally been scheduled for last month, but was delayed after the death of the queen. our health correspondent jim reed reports. on a long wall in westminster, relatives of those who lost their lives to covid have left their marks and memories. sylvia jackson died in the first wave of the pandemic. like so many others, her daughter wants to know if the right decisions were taken at the time. so, all kinds of questions and the fact that none of them have

been answered yet is precisely the reason why we need this inquiry. i don't know who is responsible for my mum's death. and i want to know. and if they behaved wrongly, i want them held to account. that's only right, that's only right. today, in this room in west london, the process of finding those answers gets under way. the uk covid inquiry is so wide—ranging, it will have to be split into separate sections. the first tackling preparations for a pandemic starts this morning. next month sees the start of the second section on political decision—making, including the timing of lockdowns. preliminary hearings this autumn will be followed by full public hearings next year, where ministers and other decision—makers will be called to give evidence. this all matters to people like abi williams. the care home she runs

lost residents in the first wave of covid. it is important for us to...for lessons learned, really. we want to know what went wrong, how can it be better handled, and we want to learn from it and to be more prepared in future. covid is still with us, of course. though the fast roll—out of vaccines across the world has cut the risk of hospitalisation and death. doctors say learning lessons now is vital to better understand what happened and to better protect ourselves against any future pandemic. jim reed, bbc news. a woman has died after being attacked by dogs at a house in liverpool. it happened yesterday afternoon in the kirkdale area of the city. reporter alison freeman is there. what more can you tell us?

good morning, merseyside police told us that they were called here yesterday just us that they were called here yesterdayjust before half past four to reports of a woman aged in her 60s having been attacked by dogs. the force said they were called by the ambulance service and the woman was pronounced dead on the scene. you can see the green covering on the house, the house where the woman died. she has not been named yet but we know her next of kin have been informed. in a statement the force said they understand the shark it will have cause to the community and they will be continuing investigations today. they call on anyone with information to come forward to help them with their investigation.— tougher rules for migrants are expected to be set out by the new home secretary suella braverman later today when she addresses the tory party conference.

more than 32,000 people have crossed the english channel in small boats so far this year. paris correspondent lucy williamson has been speaking to people in northern france about the growing popularity of this route into the uk. it is 3am and this french patrol are tracking their target. two people smugglers spotted by a uk—funded drone. they are half a mile away, swiftly preparing a boat to take migrants across the channel. a uk—funded buggy gets the patrol there in minutes. the smugglers have already fled. but they have lost their boat, their fuel and their motor to the patrol. this journey tonight is over. french patrols are now stopping around half these crossings, but they are still attracting more migrants and new, more efficient smuggling networks run by albanians. translation: i don't know if it is the albanian mafia i

in the uk, but there are a lot of albanian smugglers organising crossings. with prices of 3,000 to 4,000 euros per person and 40 people in a boat, do the maths. it is even more lucrative than drug trafficking and with lighter criminal charges. albanian customers have been filling cafes and hotels around the station in dunkirk. i see a lot of albanian people come here. more and more. maybe double or triple compared to last year. and year after year, there are people and people coming and coming who say there are no people in albania any more. smugglers have extended their operations along this coastline to avoid daily patrols from land, sea and air. this coastline has pulled in resources year after year — vehicles, technology, foot patrols. politicians change, strategies shift and, still, the number of people crossing this channel rises.

and here in the camps, the uk government's latest deterrent, deportation to rwanda, isn't working. this crossing is sold to the solution to insurmountable problems and that trumps any kind of risk. lucy williamson, bbc news, calais. here's carol. it was not quite so cold this morning. that is right, many started in double figures. some starting at 17 degrees. it will be a mild day and the next few days, more windy, and looking at rain. heavy rain currently across scotland and northern ireland will move south. the second front behind that will also bring rain which. across parts of scotland and northern ireland in the afternoon. rain does not get to

the afternoon. rain does not get to the far south—east. it clears the far north of scotland where we have showers. a windy day wherever you are. this evening, showers in the south—west. the south—eastern quarter largely dry, and then we run into rain in wales, northern england, northern ireland, central and southern scotland with scattered showers in far north of scotland. overnight, these weather fronts migrate northwards if anything. tangled up in low pressure that also is heading north. and you can see further rain coming into the west. the wind is picking up especially in england and wales. it will be a mild night. a mild start tomorrow and the rain moves away from scotland and moves to the south—east. as it clears, blustery showers, some thundery. and a windy day with gales thundery. and a windy day with gates in exposure and a high temperature

of about 19. here on breakfast we brought you the story of tony hickmott — a man with autism and a learning disability who's been held in a secure hospital for almost 22 years. he was just 23 when he was first detained following a mental health crisis and has been largely held in solitary confinement ever since. now, at last, there's good news, as tony has been found what they hope will be a new home for life. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin reports. you're coming home. a new house is taking shape in brighton. dream come true. a dream come true. a new home for pam and roy's son, tony. it's happening now. tony's going to come home. yeah. you've waited so long. yeah. decades. this is tony hickmott. last year, we had to go to court

to be able to report how he had been detained in a secure hospitalfor 21 years — not because he's a criminal, but because he's autistic. who do you love? mum. that's it — who's boy are you? mum's. put yourthumb up. last november, his parents' long fight to bring their son home ended in the court of protection, where a judge said authorities must act. and now, finally, pam and roy are about to welcome tony back to brighton. it's his home for life, right? this is his home for life. a real home. a real home, his home. that he hasn't got to share with anybody. without the noise, the screaming and the hanging of doors, the alarms. just get him home and every day's going to be a bonus. i know he's going to do well. is this tony's old room? tony was born and raised here. he's going to have his big tv.

but he was sectioned in a mental health crisis when he was 23. tony's clothes all in here. they were told it would likely be for nine months. it's now been more than two decades. last year, two whistle—blowers spoke to the bbc, revealing the trauma of many of those years. i don't even know how they do it — the patients, i mean. _ i don't know how they cope. it was almost like a solitary confinement prisoner. a very basic daily life. just 24/7 in that room. i do believe tony was probably the loneliest person living in that hospital — definitely. since they spoke out, tony has celebrated yet another birthday inside. his cards on top of a tv behind a perspex screen. he isn't allowed the remote control. a life with no autonomy in a room which became his world. he's just stuck in a time warp. he's got so much to learn and catch up on. he's going to have choices back.

when people ask about my son, they ask where he is, i tell them. and they say, "why is he there for 20 years? what was he done?" and i say he's done nothing. they say, "he must have committed a crime. he must have done something." i say he's done nothing. they say, "why is he there?" i say, "because he's autistic." it's not bad behaviour, it needs not met. a team is being recruited to support tony here in brighton. they'll be trained in autism and carefully manage his environment. among them, chris. i listen to pam and roy a lot and can't even- comprehend it, really. from day one, when i met him, ijust knew that he wasn't i the person that maybe some people had made him out to be. _ so i felt completely- relaxed and kind of ready to build that relationship. you're going to give him his whole new life? yeah. i think his world is quite small at the moment, you know. . i think there's so much

opportunity for him. i i think there's a whole world out there that can really help him i become the person that he can be. he was always meant to be? yeah. the nhs admits £11 million has been spent keeping tony detained, and he's just one of around 2000 people held in such institutions. a select committee report last year called for them all to be closed and replaced with more appropriate support in the community. but that has to be paid for by local authorities. it has taken far too long. it's complicated to try and get all the different elements in place. yet we have a responsibility. absolutely, as a society, we have a responsibility to look after these people to the optimal level we can. and the funding is really challenging to find to achieve that. so, at last, tony's for ever home is taking shape. so deserves it, pam. yeah _ it's just a short drive from his mum and dad. you can't wait for tony to be able

to make his own cup of tea. yeah. freedom. get up when he wants to. yeah _ it is a world away from a life in solitary confinement 100 miles from home. it should never be this| hard, jayne, should it? you know, i don't think tony should have ever really gone away. - he's been forgotten. not forgotten now, pam. no, he's not. no. you never gave up hope? no. never. no. i think if we had given up hope, i don't think tony would be alive. i think he would have done himself in. he wants to go with me down to the beer garden. i'll have a pint and he'll have a half and a cheese roll. that's what he talks about? that's what he wants, yeah, and a cheese roll. you've got so much to look forward to now. it'll be like heaven. it will be. jayne joins us now.

how does someone get stuck in the system like this? how how does someone get stuck in the system like this?— how does someone get stuck in the system like this? how did it happen? ton was system like this? how did it happen? tony was brought _ system like this? how did it happen? tony was brought up _ system like this? how did it happen? tony was brought up happily - system like this? how did it happen? tony was brought up happily at - system like this? how did it happen? tony was brought up happily at home with lots of support, mum and dad, special school. with lots of support, mum and dad, specialschool. he with lots of support, mum and dad, special school. he became a teenager and like a lot of people with learning disabilities struggled to the transition in adulthood. at that point his mum and dad needed help. there was a challenging behaviour they needed support with. he was detained under the mental health act but there are fundamental problems with that model of care, acknowledged by government. the first is that once you take someone with autism and learning disabilities away from everybody they know and everything they understand, they will not get better, they will be used to detain them longer. the second problem is when that person is deemed fit for release, they will probably need a lot of support in the community and if it is not there, what then? tony

was deemed fit for release in 2013, years ago. but the community support package was not there until now. that is why they went to court to fight for. the care team met for the first time yesterday. huge news for the family but a long way to go because it will be difficult. tony is not alone, with 2000 people stuck in units. there have been eight reports and reviews by government and the nhs since 2011, since the winterbourne view scandal, promising a reduction in numbers and those promises have not been met. what do the government say? a statement last night said they are committed to bringing numbers inside down but are not committed to closing the units which has been called for. they said changes to the mental health act and how it applies to people with

i'm frankie mccamley. many applicants to the windrush compensation scheme are still waiting for payments four years after the government wrongly classified them as illegal immigrants. one of those is auckland elwaldo romeo who's lived in the uk since he was four years old. he says trying to get the compensation he's owed has been devastating. hearing the home office turn round and say, you've got no right of abode. it was rather puzzling and it was devastating for me. living in this country, being educated in this country. it needs to be resolved so at least you can breathe, and carry on a life without this big distraction. the home office says it's continuing to work with those affected to pay as much as possible as soon as it can. the inquest into the death of chris kaba, who was shot by the police last month, is due to be opened and adjourned later.

the unarmed 24—year—old was driving a carflagged as involved in a firearms incident. the officer involved has been suspended and the police watchdog is investigating as a potential homicide. london air ambulance is launching an urgent fundraising appeal to raise £15 million to replace two helicopters. the charity says without public donations, some of the most urgent patients wouldn't be reached in time. prince william is to deliver his first speech since king charles gave him the new title prince of wales. he'll address the united for wildlife global summit at the science museum, where he's expected to talk about illegal wildlife crime. a quick look at the travel situation now. and there's a good service all round so far. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a very mild start this morning. there is quite a bit of cloud

around but that should start to thin and break. a couple of cold fronts sinking south but they fall short of bringing us rain through today. and you can see those isobars quite close together, it is going to be very windy. we will see the cloud lifting and breaking, some sunny spells mixed in there. there is the chance of an isolated shower, largely dry, and the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperatures very warm, 20 celsius the maximum which is above average for the time of year. overnight, it stays very windy. we are still going to see the cloud but again one or two clearer spells in there. should be largely dry, the minimum temperature exceptionally mild, 15 celsius in central london. tomorrow, the cold front finally sinks south but it is going to stay very windy. it will be a dry start but then the rain will move through. through the middle part of the day, wind gusting 40 to 45 mph potentially but that clears, we will get sunshine to end the day and the temperature reaching again 19, potentially 20 celsius. it is going to be a cooler night as we head into thursday, but plenty of dry weather in the forecast. few showers around and the temperature stays mild. that's it from me.

built in the uk, it's being tested in a quarry in bedfordshire. it was heading for mars, until its mission was cancelled. its task on the red planet was to pick up samples, but it's been scrapped. mini mars helicopters will do thejob instead. the uk doesn't want to see the technology mothballed, they think this rover has still got a bright future. we have spent a lot of time and a lot of effort on developing this expertise. we don't want to let that go to waste, we want to exploit it to make sure that investment comes to fruition. also, it puts us in a good place to be involved in future space missions which is brilliant for the reputation of the uk. so, where could the rover go instead of mars? one option could be to swap the red martian terrain for the grey lunar landscape. this rover was designed for mars.

if it's heading to the moon, it will need some modifications. the lunar surface can get as hot as 120 degrees celsius, and as cold as —230. so this will have to cope with extremes. there's also problem with light. the moon gets two weeks of daylight followed by two weeks of darkness, and this will be a challenge for solar power. and then there's the fine lunar dust. it's particularly clingy and abrasive, which could be an issue for the rover�*s moving parts. lunar exploration is having a resurgence right now. nasa's new artemis rocket will soon be heading there and eventually taking astronauts to the moon's surface. the idea is to have a permanent lunar base, and rovers could play a crucial role. they could be used anywhere that you want to do something autonomously, so it could be autonomously moving around rovers for building habitats, or it could be used for going to places

that are uninhabitable by humans or an extreme temperature or particularly dangerous. so anywhere that you want to do something autonomously, this rover could still use that technology to do that. for now, the rover is out of work, stuck on earth, driving around a quarry. but this isn't just about salvaging a £23 million piece of kit, it's about the people and expertise that goes with it. the hope is the rover gets some new employment soon. rebecca morelle, bbc news. so, that's what you do with the rover you cannot send to mars! i always wondered! rover you cannot send to mars! i always wondered! leave - rover you cannot send to mars! i always wondered! leave it - rover you cannot send to mars! i always wondered! leave it in - rover you cannot send to mars! i always wondered! leave it in a l rover you cannot send to mars! i - always wondered! leave it in a chair and wait for — always wondered! leave it in a chair and wait for a _ always wondered! leave it in a chair and wait for a better— always wondered! leave it in a chair and wait for a better offer. - always wondered! leave it in a chair and wait for a better offer. nearly . and wait for a better offer. nearly ten to nine. —— leave it in bedfordshire. huge response to the items we have been talking about, tony and his situation where he has been held and he is about to come out and join his family. and also accessibility in the tv industry.

about early days behind the scenes of some of those songs, and howl may have been feeling behind the scenes. there are human beings, and then there was the portraying that life was great as a musician. i needed to unravel that and say that i have experienced depression, being bullied at school, being bullied and ridiculed nationally on cd. and the reasons why i may have moved away to miami and come back. but the healing i had to go through, and telling it in story form so people can hopefully resonate with it, people don't have to be in the public eye, everyone deals with depression at different levels but you have to have felt it. you can only speak on bullying when you have really experienced it and you can only speak on depression when you've experienced it. it took me to a duck race which i never thought is such a positive person i would be speaking about —— it took me to a dark place.

people say, i know what he is going through and i know i am going to it and hopefully some people can resonate with that and do not have to go through the pitfalls? that i went through. to go through the pitfalls? that i went through-— to go through the pitfalls? that i went through. to go through the pitfalls? that i went throu:h. ., . y., ., ., went through. how are you doing now? much better. — went through. how are you doing now? much better, and _ went through. how are you doing now? much better, and i _ went through. how are you doing now? much better, and i recognise _ went through. how are you doing now? much better, and i recognise that - much better, and i recognise that mental health is something which has to be managed and you are triggered by things usually from your childhood and as an adult you try and unravel those in the more you push them under the carpet, the more they rear their head up in other ways. so it's a constant maintaining of mime mental health. talking about it, i saw lyon talking earlier, speaking his truth and making a difference by speaking about what matters to you. for me as an artist, thatis matters to you. for me as an artist, that is my responsibility now, to unravel the mystery, about, it is glitzy, posting an instagram, let it

introverted or you want to run away and leave school. there is a kid in me speaking to every young boy and girl out there from the bullying stage, but because it was compounded about being ridiculed on tv which wasjust straight about being ridiculed on tv which was just straight bullying,, for me, it was having to work through it and i needed to go to miami. because of that show in particular, it made it feel like people to continue the bullying without knowing and normalising it. i needed to address it, i am talking on behalf of anyone being bullying right now. —— being bullied. to talk about it right now, saying, i'm interested in talking about that because we all experience different forms of it. it's something we need to address because it led me into a spiral of depression, and questioning why i had never experienced it itself? i
